Withstand temperature
extremes

Resist searing heat and freezing cold.
If you are manufacturing or designing a product that must retain its physical
properties through heat, cold, or extreme shifts in temperature, depend on the
proven performance of
SILASTIC® brand and XIAMETER® brand silicone
elastomers from Dow Corning.

Silicone elastomers have a wider operating temperature range than most
organic elastomers. They:

Are more resistant to degradation – the loss of physical property
performance when exposed to high or low temperatures

Do not become soft and irreversibly deform when subjected to temperatures
>100°C (>212°F)

Retain their natural flexibility and continue to perform at low
temperatures that would cause most organic elastomers to become brittle

Resist compression set at both high and low temperatures

Maintain their properties longer at higher temperatures

Meet a wide range of global industry specifications and performance
tests
Silicone elastomers can be tailored or custom compounded to meet a wide range
of temperature resistance requirements, including high heat, heat aging, fire
resistance, and flame retardancy.
